Auction result well in line with expectations
In December 2011 Christies in London held the auction Victorian & British Impressionist Art, which included the work Portrait of The Hon. Mrs Harold Ritchie, full-length, seated in a white dress with lace trim by John Collier. The price achieved of GBP 10,000.00 (€ 11,976.41) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 8,000.00 – 12,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by John Collier achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Sleeping Beauty in June 2008 with an auction result of GBP 433,250.00 (€ 547,642.53).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Im Dezember 2011 führte Christies in London die Auktion Victorian & British Impressionist Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Portrait of The Hon. Mrs Harold Ritchie, full-length, seated in a white dress with lace trim von John Collier zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 10.000,00 (€ 11.976,41) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 8.000,00 – 12.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von John Collier erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Sleeping Beauty im Juni 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 433.250,00 (€ 547.642,53).
